Slide Deck 6 is a 36 slide deck that explores the topic of Mergers & Acquisitions (M&A). IT starts with the the fundamental questions: What are Mergers & Acquisitions, Types of M&As, reasons for M&A’s and the common types of transactions. The deck then elaborates on specific transaction methods, the buy-side and sell-side, financing options, and concludes with a merger model walkthrough. The slide deck also includes 5 example M&A questions and answers.

- Are revenue synergies or cost synergies easier to predict?
- Walk me through an M&A deal on the buy-side.
